Case studies in epidemiological research of SARS-CoV-2 using NGS
Tracking the global spread and evolution of SARS-CoV-2 is important for epidemiology research, essential to help adapt and establish possible preventative measures and potential treatment options. Researchers are now adopting next-generation sequencing (NGS) to interrogate the SARS-CoV-2 genome across multiple samples simultaneously for contact tracing and to rapidly obtain a global picture for surveillance.
Join us in in this workshop where Dr. Timothy Triche of the Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Dr Nicky D’Haene from Hospital Erasme, and Dr. Amy Carroll of Thermo Fisher Scientific discuss the critical role that viral genome sequencing can have in directing future efforts towards the crisis.
